There’s another new hub for luxury real estate in the Middle Keys as license partner Stephany Duvall filled the lawn at her new Overseas Highway shop on Dec. 12 to commemorate the grand opening of Engel & Völkers Marathon.

“Marathon is a truly special place, and we’re excited to offer bespoke real estate services that reflect the charm and luxury of our surroundings,” said Duvall, who hosted the upscale “White Party”-themed affair for more than 200 guests. “Our new shop is positioned to connect residents and newcomers alike with opportunities in this exceptional market.”

The Middle Keys shop is Duvall’s second location after acquiring Engel & Völkers Islamorada in March 2024. It won’t be her last, either, she said, with eyes set on a Key West location by 2026. Recently named the 2024 Marathon and Lower Keys Association of Realtors’ Realtor of the Year, Duvall has recruited other well-established groups including YouTube stars “Gables on the Go” and recently acquired Seafarer Realty from former owner Alexia Mann.

“Stephany is delivering on the vision we’ve long held for the Florida Keys,” said Peter Giese, CEO of Engel & Völkers Florida. “She has taken an elevated approach to real estate in this distinctive market, from enhancing the Islamorada shop to opening the Marathon location and already planning an expansion into Key West.”
